I read some of his book and heard his speeches. I'm not impressed with hitler.
People who think he had good rhetoric: google for a pdf of mein kampf and just read the preface, and tell me if that's good rhetoric or the ramblings of a madman.
You raise a good point tho. I guess you can despise someone and still respect their craft. but hitler is clearly overrated.

I read mein kampf when I was 16 (probably too early). Pretty boring and the style sucks. I was more referring to his oratory skills, if you have seen some videos of his speeches, and to his er..., shall we say, unwavering commitment to apply his mad ramblings to the real world.

Same could be said of Charles Manson or Hannibal the Cannibal though I guess.
